Di san lazzaro. The father of cubism three cubist that distinguishes art historian periods were initiated and developed by georges braque: the cubist cézanne (1907-1909), executive (1909-1912) and synthetic (1912-1922). Post-impressionist and fawn, braque no longer adheres to the contingency of a decorative way or the other. Cézanne’s paintings exhibited at the grand palais during the retrospective of 1907 are a revelation: cézanne sought and invented a pictorial language. In his footsteps, braque went to the south with the reasons of the master. He returned with estaque landscapes and surprising ciotat it keeps cezanne geometric model and retains the “passages” continuity from one surface to another to create the sensation of “turning around” of the object represented. But he wants to go after the consequences of the vision of cezanne. In his paintings houses in l’estaque (1908) it simplifies the volumes of houses, neglects detail by removing doors and windows: the plastic rhythm that builds the table. Large nude , a masterpiece of the period, can be considered the first work of cézanne cubism . Systematizing and deepening braque discoveries open the door analytical cubism. In 1909, his painting became more cerebral than sensual. The pattern is recreated in the two-dimensionality of the canvas, leaving aside any illusionistic perspective. In still life with violin, objects are analyzed facets according to their characteristic elements, each facet referring to a particular view of the object. There are so many facets of points selected view: table reflects the knowledge of the object and the ubiquity of the eye. Moreover, braque is looking for the essence of the objects in the world rather than their contingency, which explains the absence of light source and use of muted colors (gray, ocher), contingent aspects of the object . But formal logic has stepped facets, erased any anecdote to the object and ultimately led to his painting a hermetic more marked on the edge of abstraction (see the series of castle roche-guyon ). Braque, anxious to keep the concrete and refusing at all costs that the logic of cubism takes the paintings to abstract, reintroduced signs of reality in his paintings in 1912 marks the beginning of synthetic cubism. Historians speak of “signs of real” rather than reality because what interests braque, this is not to put reality into a table, but to create a painting which, by its language, refers to the real. To do this, he invented two major techniques xx th century inclusions and contributions. The inclusions consist of painting objects that have no real depth, materials (wallpaper in nature morte aux playing cards faux wood is a pictorial inclusion) or letters (calligraphic inclusion in portuguese ), made first brush and a few months later stencil. Contributions are defined in contrast with the collage on canvas of foreign materials: glued or sand paper, sawdust, etc\. Regarding the collages, braque used for the first time in september 1912 a piece of adhesive paper imitating faux wood compote and glass , then the packet envelope of tobacco bock in 1912-1913, or an advertisement in damier , 1913). Inputs and inclusions refer to an external object in the table, without “emulate” this object. Away from their appearances, objects are represented in closest essence of the objects in the real world sense. This is also the time of synthetic cubism that braque invented paper sculpture. There are, unfortunately, and no one is living proof of a photograph makes it possible to realize: paper and paperboard. Métamorphoses period(1961-1963). In 1961, georges braque worked on a greek head for the louvre, which obsesses him, and he wishes to free his mind. He tried several times to bring out the paint and the result was unsatisfactory. He thinks the ultimate metamorphosis its greek head projected in three dimensions. He calls in his studio of baron heger loewenfeld, master lapidary, and he communicates his enthusiasm during the “fateful encounter.” nine months later, in honor of the eighty years of georges braque, heger loewenfeld offers the master of the ring circe: the famous greek head finally exorcised, carved in an onyx. Braque loewenfeld then asked to identify other issues that haunt him. From dated and signed by georges braque, heger gouaches loewenfeld shapes works in the fields of jewelery, lapidary art, sculpture and etrog. In september 1962, heger of loewenfeld and andré malraux meet the ministry of cultural affairs.
